It'd definitely be desirable, but it wouldn't be easy. Currently the thing that makes the tool uncomplicated is that it doesn't need to talk to Zotero at all during the scan. All the citation data is added when setting a citation style in LibreOffice. The scan just converts the markers to LO Reference Marks with Zotero format and Zotero item.uris that allow for updating. The relevant function is here: https://github.com/Juris-M/zotero-odf-scan-plugin/blob/master/chrome/content/rtfScan.js#L271 Hope you like regular expressions ;) |

The talking to Zotero bit isn't really too hard. Is https://github.com/Juris-M/zotero-odf-scan-plugin/blob/master/chrome/content/rtfScan.js#L512 the central function that orchestrates the finding and replacing, and https://github.com/Juris-M/zotero-odf-scan-plugin/blob/master/chrome/content/rtfScan.js#L594 the part that does the actual replacements? If I may ask, why use regexes when FF has XML/XPath functionality built in? |

I'm interested in adding the possibility to have the ODF-scanner use the Zotero-embedded citeproc to create a finalized document; not to remove the existing functionality to create a Zotero-compatible document but so that I can use Word-online + ODF scan without requiring the use of Word to finalize the document. Would this be:
and if so, can you point me to the part of the code that does the current replacement?
